Coronach was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was a champion two-year-old who went on to become only the third horse to complete the Epsom Derby, Eclipse Stakes and St Leger treble (Tulyar, in 1952, become the most recent and fourth horse to equal the feat) as a three-year-old in 1926, a year in which he also won the St. James's Palace Stakes. He won the Coronation Cup at four, but was beaten in his two remaining starts by his long-standing rival Colorado

Coronach, a big, handsome chestnut horse standing 16.2 hands high with a white blaze, white socks on his hind feet and a light-coloured mane and tail, was bred by his owner Lord Woolavington. He was sired by the unbeaten champion, Hurry On, making him a representative of the Godolphin Arabian sire line. Apart from Coronach, Hurry On sired the winners of seven Classics including the Derby winners Captain Cuttle and Call Boy. His most influential son was the Ascot Gold Cup winner Preciptation, who sired four classic winners. Coronach was the fifth foal of the mare Wet Kiss who finished fourth in the 1916 Oaks.

He was trained throughout his career by Fred Darling at Beckhampton. His regular jockey was Joe Childs, whose preferred style of holding up horses for a late run was at odds with Coronach’s front running style: after the Derby he was reported to have said that “the bastard ran away with me!”
